Survival
Land claims
A claim locks a piece of land to you. Nobody else can build, break or open your chests inside it unless you trust them. Claim before you build anything you care about.
- Price
- $5,000, any size
- Biggest claim
- 30,000 blocks of ground
- How many
- 2 at Traveler, up to 8 at Legend
- Height
- Bedrock to sky, automatic
- Refund if you unclaim
- None
Before you claim
You need $5,000. New players start with $250, the Journey pays $7,500 and the five Claims tutorial quests add $1,500, so most players can afford their first claim by the end of the Journey. The price is the same for a tiny plot or a huge one, and claims cannot be stretched later, so leave yourself room to grow.
Tip Visit /warp tut to see the claim tutorial and start the Claims I to V quests.
The easy way: /claims
- Type /claims and choose Claim Your Corner, or Quick Plot Sizes if you just want a square.
- Quick plot: stand in the middle of your spot and pick Cottage (16 × 16), Homestead (32 × 32) or Estate (64 × 64).
- Custom shape: you get a wooden claim axe (keep one inventory slot free). Left-click a block at one corner, then right-click the block at the opposite corner. Height does not matter.
- The review screen opens by itself. Click Walk the Boundary to see a private outline for 60 seconds. Your land is not protected yet.
- Click Name Your Claim and type a name (1 to 48 letters, numbers, underscores or hyphens, no spaces).
- Click Protect Land, then confirm. The $5,000 is taken and your land is protected straight away.
The command way
//wand- Get the wooden selection axe
/claimprice- Check the size and price of your selection (/cp)
/claim <name>- Get a quote for a claim with that name
/claimconfirm- Pay and create it. You have 2 minutes.
/claimcancel- Cancel the quote
Tip If you click a new corner after the quote, the quote is cancelled. Run /claim <name> again.
Picking a size
Any rectangle works as long as width times length is 30,000 or less. All of them cost $5,000.
| Plot | Size | Blocks of ground |
|---|---|---|
| Cottage | 16 × 16 | 256 |
| Homestead | 32 × 32 | 1,024 |
| Estate | 64 × 64 | 4,096 |
| Largest square | 173 × 173 | 29,929 |
| Long and narrow | 100 × 300 | 30,000 |
What a claim protects
Inside your claim, only you and your trusted members can place or break blocks and open chests, barrels and other containers. Visitors can still walk through. Every claim reaches from the bottom of the world to the build limit, so tunnels under it and towers above it are covered too. Anything outside the edges is not protected.
Trusting friends
- Type /claims and open Your Homesteads.
- Pick the claim, then Members.
- Click Add Member and type your friend's exact username. They must have joined Survival before.
- Confirm. They can now build and use everything in that claim.
/rg addmember <claim> <player>- Trust someone by command
/rg removemember <claim> <player>- Remove them
Tip Members can empty your chests, so only add people you trust. Being in your party does not give anyone claim access. Only you can rename, change settings or unclaim.
Protection settings
Open the claim in /claims and choose Protection Settings. Each one can be set to Allow, Deny or back to the server default. The menu only shows the settings you are allowed to change.
| Setting | What it controls |
|---|---|
| Player Combat | Whether players can fight inside your claim |
| Doors & Switches | Whether visitors can use doors, buttons and levers |
| Container Access | Whether visitors can open chests and other containers |
| Mob Spawning | Whether mobs can spawn on your land |
| Creeper Explosions | Whether creepers can damage your blocks |
| TNT Explosions | Whether TNT can damage your blocks |
| Welcome Message | Text shown when someone walks in (up to 120 characters) |
| Farewell Message | Text shown when someone walks out |
Managing your land
From Your Homesteads you can also rename a claim (spaces and capitals are fine there) and show its boundary for 60 seconds.
/claims- See every claim you own and manage it
/rg info- Stand inside a claim to see its owner and members
/rg flags <claim>- See every setting on your claim
/unclaim <claim>- Remove a claim (asks you to confirm)
Making it bigger or moving
There is no way to stretch an existing claim. Out of room? Claim the land right next to it as a second claim. Claims can touch, they just cannot overlap. To start over somewhere else, use /unclaim, then claim the new spot. Unclaiming removes the protection immediately and refunds nothing. Your blocks stay where they are, but anyone can break them.
How many claims you can own
Your limit covers every Survival world together and goes up with your rank.
| Rank | Claims |
|---|---|
| Traveler | 2 |
| Citizen | 3 |
| Settler | 4 |
| Pathfinder | 5 |
| Vanguard | 6 |
| Champion | 7 |
| Legend | 8 |
